I recently meet Roy Chua and Matt Palmer over at SDN Central a few weeks ago. They have put together a really nice site dedicated to Software Defined Networks (SDN) and contributing to the community. They are really seasoned IT pros that have great vision.
I posted a little bit of a refresher for some, or a primer for others regarding what is all the fuss about TCAMs and SDN. Hope it helps a bit to anyone that is curious about search ASICs and why all the interest lately revolving around OpenFlow and SDN.

Thank you, Brent, for the primer on TCAMs on SDNCentral! It continues to get a lot of views and friends that have read it have given it very high positive ratings. Looking forward to the next article from you!
Thanks Roy, I appreciated the invite to write over at sdncentral. The next few evolutions of merchant silicon will be pretty wild to see. Hard to think Marvell/Intel/Broadcom have not been hedging their bets on some flexible chips for us. Tty soon pal!
